If you are thinking about hacking and require a low to medium level language then pick C over C++ every time. C++'s abstractions just get in the way of a hacking.

If you still want to learn C++ then mark off several years on your calendar to learn it and by several years I mean 3-5 years. C++ is not a simple language to write 'correct C++' code in and to make matters worse, C++ designers offloaded much responsibility to programmer to get it right. C++ seems to marry a lot of bad ideas into a huge and complex language and relies on the programmer to juggle all the rough edges into a safe and sound program... What could go wrong with that stratergy?

It’s easier to understand C/C++ first before you start making hacking programs/tools.

Well to start off with, scrap C++ for a minute and look at the pure C language, what can it do? With C (not saying C++ can not), you'd be able to code an entirely new system environment, you'd be able to code an engine that would be used to create games such as Unreal Engine, not just a game itself but the engine. As well as you could code games, and as you can code games obviously you can also code 'cheats'.

To be fair, C is a shit language in the hands of many, but at the mercy of few, any language can easily transcend.

Anyway scrapping the bullshit, obviously since this is not a matter of "Is C++ the best language?" but merely "What can it produce?" I have to be honest and say, if you can come up with an idea that requires it to have a CPU and a harddisk, it will be very likely that it can be coded in C or C++. Whether it's a better choice, definitely depends on what your goal is.

Want to code cheats for PUBG or EFT? Obviously these games are based off of UE and as such depends on C++, the obvious would be to code cheats for these games in C++.

Have fun.
